About

Who is SAMRO?

SAMRO (Southern African Music Rights Organisation) is a non-profit copyright-administration society incorporated in December 1961 and commencing operations in January 1962 in Johannesburg, South Africa. It took over performing-rights administration from the UK's Performing Right Society, and converted to a non-profit company structure in 2013.

SAMRO administers performing rights exclusively — public performance, broadcasting, streaming and other licensed public uses of musical works — on behalf of its composer, author, lyricist and publisher members. It has been a member of CISAC since 1962 and has chaired CISAC's African Committee. As of its FY2025 reporting, it counted more than 28,000 members and distributed over R600 million in royalties.

In 2014, SAMRO transferred its mechanical-rights licensing to the newly formed CAPASSO, creating a clean separation between performing rights (SAMRO) and mechanical rights (CAPASSO) in South Africa.
